I’d classify this as a Thanksgiving dish, but in all honesty, I’d eat this any time of the year!

Sweet potatoes are already awesome on their own, but these coconut sweet potatoes with candied pecans are extra creamy and topped with a sweet crunch. They’re practically irresistible!

They’d make a great side to your holiday feast!
